Radio and TV
Although well outside of metro Atlanta, Calhoun is considered part of the Atlanta television market, the ninth-largest DMA according to Nielsen Media Research. Cable TV service is offered through Comcast Cable, which provides one public, educational, and government access (PEG) cable TV channel named WEBS cable 3.
There are now four radio stations having Calhoun as their city of license:
- WEBS AM 1030, playing oldies, also on cable channel 3
- WJTH AM 900, playing country music
- W269CC 101.7, transmitting WJTH programming from WJTH tower, but having nearby Adairsville as the city of license
- WLOJ-LP 102.9, religious (owned and operated by the Calhoun Seventh-day Adventist Church)
- WIPK FM 94.5, went on-air in late 2011 with a Christmas music radio format, owned by WEBS
Many other stations from Rome, Atlanta, and Chattanooga are also available across northwest Georgia, though reception of these often depends on weather.
There is also a semi-weekly newspaper, The Calhoun Times

Famous quotes containing the words radio and tv and/or radio:
“We spend all day broadcasting on the radio and TV telling people back home what’s happening here. And we learn what’s happening here by spending all day monitoring the radio and TV broadcasts from back home.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“... the ... radio station played a Chopin polonaise. On all the following days news bulletins were prefaced by Chopin—preludes, etudes, waltzes, mazurkas. The war became for me a victory, known in advance, Chopin over Hitler.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
